Hi,

I am using Linux-Mint. I am getting the following error when I try to setup ambari server.

Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance.

sboxes@osboxes ~ $ sudo ambari-server setup

Using python /usr/bin/python

@Subrahmanya Oruganti'

Please find the Supported Operating System Details:

http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.6.0/bk_support-matrices/content/ch_matrices-ambari.html

- I am afraid that Linux-Mint is not in the Tested/Supported Operating Systems list. Hence ambari is not able to locate the Repository for this Operating system and hence it is failing.

Please take a look at: https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/release-2.5.0/ambari-common/src/main/python/ambari_commons/os_utils.py#L170-L171
